A friend ofo.im whi? has r-contly frnvtiled in the upper Districts of this State, informs us thut the W s ern drovers have f>ceo play n x t? the best of them, more than half blooda, and many of them not a particle * of Berkshire blood in them. He ijlso staled that all his neighbors wh ? had purchased of those mi v dor no !?l??odH hogs had fallen out with Berks! ire;. saying that - ti?e piear noise about blooded hogs was all a humbug. &c. , that v we have seen cattlo from Kentucky recently of the illest, shapes, and of brotcn. ?K brtndle, and dove colors, passed off* in our market as Durham*. What is most astonishing, this has been done by men stand fair, so far as we know, in Ken tucky, aatotceders, and they produce J certifirate* from respectable gentlemen to prove the genuineness ot the blood; but if every drover on earth would swear they were genuine Durhams, we could not heSieve it. What must be the astonishment of our honest farmers in Kentucky, when we say we saw heifers, from one of your feHtfMAjjkt oreeders, sell at auction in NashjBfB^Wsthe other day, at from about 12 to lollar*each, and this was on credit* }f this is the way Kentucky Durhams sell at home, we would advise the breeders of that noble State, to turn their attention to the breeding of scrubs. But what are iU r.r-is rKmt' (K? nrip?< nf onod stock in 2* , Kentucky than in Tennesee, and to see either kind come to Tennesee, to he sold, it prima facia evidence* it is worth little or nothing at home.?The tendency of this system has been to induce tire belief, particularly amongst thoee who have not ia&rroed themselves, that our best WU!? 11 " : ! ? Kentucky V*rubs and mixed Ijlood driven to our State; aid hence the impression ' has been made that our stock was higher | than the some kind in Kentucky, which ? is not the truth. Will friend Stevenson, 1 of the Kentucky Farmer, and others, i who wish to see justice done, aid us in ? exposing these frauds? We love the people of Kentucky, and we do not wish t to act so as to displease any gentle nan > but if Mr. Stevenson will agree to aid us, I we blind ourselves to give, at least, every ? man's name, whom wc see practicing I fraud in Tennesee hereafter. ?* This subject was biought foreilily to < 0'ir minds at the recent Davidson County | Agricultural exhibition. We saw and ' converse ! with gentlemen from various | counties in the State, who came, not only < to see the stock and implements, but t? ' make purchases. We saw, for instance, several persons enquiring for young mules. | and notwithstanding there are many in > the coii'itrv, we could not think at the I time to-whom we could recommend these purchasers. They wont away without i b yingr while there are tna iy anxious ? to sell. 1 Suppose then, in addition to the present , practi-e of showing for cups and certifi. i rates, it he- und'rstood tiiere will bo a general stock sale as is always the case 1 in England, nnd then every man who has to sell, wiH hav? his slock or implements prfcsent, and purchasers will-come great distances, nnd they will always be assured they will stand a fair chattc te a ;e the best of every thing, and to purchase at fair prices. > ? ? ?* ? ?'?

Greene County, Ga. Oct. 8, 1841. | Messrs. Grieve & Orme:?2 have made some experiments and discovery ol the worm in cotUn. ! have heard many persons undertake to describe how the worms were generated, hut no description seemed to satisfy m?\ My crop h iving a great quantity ot worm in it this year, 1 was frequently in it and could sec a fly resembling the fly from a silk worm. It was rather smaller and more yellow. One evening between rsun-set and dark, ( fol O ? r ' towed one of those flies laying its eggs, Every branch of cotton where the fly made a deposit of its eggs, I gathered I and put in a glass jar, from which the worm hatched ; and white very small I put into a small cotton square, and il opened inn short time, It passed from on? square to anolner, producing thf same effect on the cotton as those in the field where I gathered the eggs. |. These worms, after getting to a cjrtain stage of life, leave the cotton IhiIIs and burrow in the ground; hut how long they remain in that state, I am unable I to say; hut beyond, all doubt, they are transformed into a fly, and this fly lay* the eag ; and as soon as the fly deposits all its egg^j it dies similar to the silk worm fly. How the worm first iu ?de its appearance last year, ( am unalde to de. termine, but am inclined to the belie! that the fly was the original last -year and was brought into existence from sqjni unknown process. One of these worms will destroy one half of the squares and holts in n stalk oi cotton and frequently more, liefore they burrow in the earth. Should this wdrm remain in^the ground during the winter, it no doubt would be a tjood plan in tindead of W'nler to break up the bed in which the rot ton grew, so that tliqY will freeze-.

I have also caught them when they had hut a few, and were small and ckly, and they then soon die. From the f\et that the wofm destroys so much of the.square and holf, I have no I that a great Having may he had by Worm ing ihe plant, and detecting them at all age* ami sizes. This plan 1 aoptedf and I am sure from a calculation that I made hone dayswrorli, that I must have destroved from forty to fifty thousand worms in the space of fifteen days. These wonrt& .destroy more cotton when small thnn they do when they are nearly grown becatise Ihoy mostly prey ujwn the grown bolls, and frequently 4 they remain in one boil until they get ready to go into' the earth. -- * f I will descibe the fly ns nearly $s I. can: It is about three-fourths of an Inch o:?g> and of a light brown yodlow-^wing* spread out wide pitched in a leaf, and dies awkwardly when in the act of laying its eggs?has a small green head and jtM tictween the socket of its wings, is .of a_ hrown red, and has a hill half an inch ! long, of a hard w.ry substance, wbich it caryatt cary* in a coil. I pr feuine some may conclude that tubble or corn land will not he attacked hy them; ImiI this makes no difference as the fly cirn travel very rapidly and will soon go to an v part of the plantation, Cotton should be planted early, and, thinned nut.-to I2or 14 itu:hes? and one stalk.
